14-3.6. The manual method of operating the winch, when selected, may be used to allow anchor to free-fall. This is not
recommended. Anchor cannot be manually retrieved with this system. With two ship service generators providing
electrical power, a manual backup system with full capability is not considered necessary.
14-3.7. Each winch cable passes through a fairleader before attaching to the anchor. This prevents the anchor cable
from becoming entangled with other equipment on the weatherdeck.
14-3.8. Anchoring and mooring system components are listed in Tables 14-1 and 14-2.
